Hobart hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Hobart hotel

• For those that enjoy art, make sure to select a hotel next to the Museum of Old and New Art, such as the Riverfront Motel & Villas, located a 3-minute walk away. This underground museum contains a variety of interactive and playful art, as well as a popular wine bar that is connected to the local Moorilla Winery.
• Hoping to do some shopping during your trip to Hobart? Choose a hotel next to the Salamanca Market, such as the 4-star Salamanca Suites, which is located a 3-minute walk away. This outdoor market contains a high concentration of vendors selling goods such as clothing, produce, ready-to-eat items and local art pieces.
• To explore some of the city’s green spaces and impressive natural scenery, consider booking a hotel near the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, such as the Quest Trinity House that is just a 7-minute walk away. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens are composed of over 14 hectares of land and have a variety of historical and exotic plant collections, as well as a visitor centre.
• If you’re interested in seeing a unique perspective of Hobart’s history, pick a hotel next to the Cascades Female Factory, a workhouse that dates back to the 1800s and has since been converted into a museum highlighting the reformation of Australian female convicts. The Bay View Villas are a chic choice that are only a 4-minute drive to the museum and a 6-minute drive to the Hobart Aquatic Centre.
• For travelers that would like to do some gambling during their time in Hobart, book a room at Wrest Point, a casino hotel that also has a golf course, a revolving restaurant, and several pools. Additionally, Wrest Point is located directly next to the banks of the Derwent River, making it a particularly scenic place to stay.
